Rails - Aug 2006 - Convert BigNum to Time object

Hi,

I am trying to import data from an old database which stored timestamps 
as int fields. I am looking for a way of turning them into a datetime 
field created_at.

Let''s say for example that I have

OldArticle.time # BigNum 1111111111

And I would like:

NewArticle.created_at = ?????????(Old.Article.time)

How can I do that?

By the way, should I use timestamps or datetimes for created_at and 
updated_at fields? I found both...

Thank you a lot!

How could I miss it... The answer is:

NewArticle.created_at = Time.at(Old.Article.time)
